For four straight years, one Bay View bar has claimed the title of Milwaukee's best beer list – a pretty prestigious title considering this city knows beer like no other. And despite a fairly tight vote this time around, it looks like OnMilwaukee voters are going to add a fifth year to Sugar Maple's beer list domination.

The family-owned Bay View beer hotspot offers a selection of 62 American beers on draft, including Fox Barrel, Hinterland, Central Waters and Smuttynose.

World of Beer put up a good fight, but they landed 60 votes short of toppling Sugar Maple's beastly beer list, earning them a very respectable second place for the second straight year.

While the readers still are still hooked on Sugar Maple, the OMC editors gave their pick to Burnhearts, making this their second straight editors' pick title in 2014.

Roman's gets robbed of this award every year (in multiple publications). I'm only ok with that because it's never crowded. If you enjoy unique beers on tap with a knowledgable Cicerone (Beer certification) you simply must try Roman's in Bayview. I've never had a bad beer or time at Roman's.
